Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 310

C310 – Narrow Road

Posted on November 26, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

Along the desert, the Luoye City team has been moving in the direction of their destination.

The team of more than two thousand people was worth the whole tribe of the former Flaming Horns tribe.

In the middle of the crowd, a huge beast was walking with the king eight steps ahead of them. Shao Xuan could clearly hear the huge beast’s claw rubbing against the yellow sand.

There were also some animals led by the slaves. Sometimes, they often saw an active desert beast not far from them. It would create noise, but then taken down soon after. Even the one Su Gu rode also had to suppress some from time to time. In the team of beasts, the most quiet and steady was probably the camels being ridden by Shao Xuan’s group. He just didn’t know if they were really calm or were just slow to react.

The air has changed from the scorching one in the beginning. When noon came, it was with some coolness.

This was already the tenth day since they had left Luoye City.

In this procession of slaves, some failed to continue on because of a variety of reasons. In the slave owners’ team, there was a fixed rule that if one fell in a short period of time and could not get up, they would then let him be food for the beasts.

The tribes has never been so cruel. However, even if Shao Xuan’s group initially could not adapt, the days gradually coming over have made them numb. This was the rule of the slave world, and it was unknown whether those people would regret their choice before they close their eyes.

“It’s almost there!” Su Gu whispered to Shao Xuan’s group.

Over a tall old sand dune, they stood on the sand ridge, looking out over the yellow undulating sand. There were plenty of white areas. Those were snow.

The wind that blew over their heads was also with cold snow foam.

“This … It snows here?!” Lei looked at the place in amazement. He had thought that such a place in this season, even if the temperature was low, there would be no snow. After all, in his impression, the desert was a hot and dry place. However now, his impression was overturned.

“Where is the city? I only see the desert.” Tuo looked at the distance. Except for the desert with snow, he didn’t see anything else.

“Beast City is still a bit far from here, but this is already in the range of the city’s desert.” Su Gu said to the three people what he had learned.

Although they could see a lot of snow in the area, the air was still dry, too cold and too dry to allow the snow to melt. Hence, the snow directly evaporated into vapor.

However, snow was the only source of water in the Beast City desert. The animals around bowed their heads and quench their thirst with little snow from time to time, so they could fill their stomachs with water. However, one could not directly eat snow every time. Gnawing too much snow here would either make them sick or even die. Therefore, as the people and beasts in the team were walking for a while, they were gathering for some snow.

Some flying birds could be seen in the distance, but those were not wild birds, but domesticated birds in other cities. Probably in the vicinity to investigate the situation and to see which teams have arrived.

Shao Xuan listened to what Su Gu was saying about this desert, when he heard a call in the sky.

“Someone is coming.” Shao Xuan said.

Su Gu believed Chacha’s judgment, what Shao Xuan said that someone was coming. It would certainly be in a form of a big troop.

“Which city?” Su Gu questioned.

Wu s.h.i.+ next to him thought of something. His expression changed as he quickly walked a few steps to go to the other side, facing the team.

“Third Young Master, let’s be careful. It might be the people from Bais.h.i.+.” Wu s.h.i.+ said.

Bais.h.i.+ and Luoye city were not on the same route and destination. But if you compared the lines between the two sides, you would find that there was an intersection, and at this point, they were at that intersection.

It was a narrow road.

The team has been moving forward at the same speed for a long time. The people of Luoye City would not evade because of an encounter with an old enemy. In that case, would they even consider to be afraid, then what would the king’s face present?

On the distant ridge, there was a shadow of a procession.

Zu~

A buckle-like roar of a beast sounded from so far away. Even at such a distance, they could feel the impact of it hammering.

“It was Bais.h.i.+’s riding beast.” Su Gu still has some impressions of the cry.

The huge figure of the beast that did not lose out with that of the Luoye City King’s finally appeared in the eyes everyone. Similar to the Luoye City’s team, there were many other animals of different sizes surrounding the king’s. Some were held by the slaves for the battle in the Beast City, and some were mounted by the slave owners.

“Ah-Xuan.” Tuo and Lei looked toward Shao Xuan.

“Let’s just look first.”

Shao Xuan knew what they were going to say. That the traitor of the Flaming Horns was probably in that team.

The two-team walking route was almost forming an X-shape, and the other side seemed to be speeding up, not wanting to miss the other side.

As the two sides moved closer, the fighting beasts on both sides were out for blood. No matter how many slaves pulled, they bared their teeth towards the other team, roaring as if they wanted to jump up to bite the people.

Closer now, both sides were beginning to put their guards up. Shao Xuan could see the slaves of Luoye City picking up their wooden and stone s.h.i.+elds while the archers were also preparing.

This would be…… Did they plan to have a fight before going to town?

Shao Xuan motioned for Lei and Tuo’s attention. The slaves of Luoye City would protect their slave owners, but they would not care for the three of them.

Zu~

Again, a roar of the beast sounded. This time, closer, deafening, and more powerful.

Ga–

The Luoye City King’s riding beast was not to be outdone, as it roared back.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Almost at the same time, hundreds of arrows were shot out from inside both teams. There were also spears thrown with more powerful impact.

The high-level slaves guarded the slave owners with their bodies, while most of the slaves seized the opportunity to show their loyalty. The more dangerous the situation was, the more opportunities they could have. On Su Gu’s side, the new slaves were also eager to squeeze in and block those coming for Su Gu. When they saw that there were arrows, they gathered to that area, lest when the chaos ended, their own wooden s.h.i.+eld not having any arrows would mean that they had not done their work.

Because they all went to the slave owners, Shao Xuan’s group’s position immediately emptied out.

Shao Xuan had one hand on the camel’s back, pus.h.i.+ng his body by force to jump above the camel. He flipped as his other hand swung with a stone knife, hitting the arrows shooting over them.

After defending off a round, Shao Xuan did not continued to stay on the camel’s back. He landed on the ground after hitting the arrows to continue defending against those shooting over their area. He did not like to use a s.h.i.+eld in such a situation, under these series of attacks. Having a s.h.i.+eld would instead make him feel shackled, which was not a habit of the people of the Flaming Horns tribe.

Holding a knife, Shao Xuan eyes flashed as his fast-waving stone knife exploded in a group of gray light. In an instant, his surroundings did not have an arrow shot in. If people were also included in the attack, they would undoubtedly be killed in a b.l.o.o.d.y storm-like blade.

Meanwhile, the camel behind Shao Xuan still had its neck held high, calmly looking around. In its idle time, it also had the mood to squat on the ground, gnawing the snow.
